will delay the project’s completion; the New Brunswick site could handle the full one-million barrels per day. Mark MacKenzie said it is likely that price volatility in the oil sector played a major role in TransCanada’s decision. The McNab-Braeside councillor has followed the issue closely and is worried construction of a new pipe under the Madawaska, along with the threat of a leak, could prove catastrophic for about one million people who get their drinking water from the nearby Ottawa River. “It doesn’t make sense to me about the terminal. They called it critical, then said it was a luxury,” MacKenzie said. “It seems much more likely it has to do with oil prices.” MacKenzie and council colleague, Heather Lang, have asked to speak on behalf of the municipality at a National Energy Board (NEB) hearing.

Dispute with mall closes Hart store, at least temporarily Scott Campbell
scottcampbell@metroland.com
Arnprior’s Hart department store in the Arnprior Shopping Centre is closed, but the company is hopeful the shutdown will be temporary. The store was locked out of its premises last Wednesday morning, April 15, to the surprise of customers and shock
of staff who had showed up to work. In a statement the next day, a legal representative speaking on behalf of Hart Stores Inc. blamed the closure on a legal dispute with the Arnprior Shopping Centre. The company emphasized that it has not closed the store for financial or any other reason and was optimistic the outlet would be opened once the conflict is
resolved. Hart “intends on continuing to operate its Arnprior store,” the statement said. The mall manager referred questions to the shopping centre’s Toronto-area owner, but calls hadn’t been answered as of press time. See HART Page 3

With the golf season upon us, the transition from the Arnprior Golf Club to the Sand Point Golf Course has been going well. We hope to open Tuesday, April 28th. The following personnel have been hired to work for the Sand Point Golf Course / RBH. 1. Steve Williams – Greenskeeper 2. Ryan Condon – CPGA Pro 3. Cari Reid & Jay Whitelock – Clubhouse and Food & Beverage 4. Judy Ciphery – Accounting (office at Reid Bros.) 5. Barrie Bennett – Janitorial/Maintenance We plan to extend Steve William’s contract for another year, which will mean, our Greenskeeper and Pro will have new 3 year contracts.

To all AGC Debenture Holders and Members
Pipeline concerns raised at town hall meeting The township recently arrived at a common position with others directly affected, including North Bay, Temagami, and North Grenville. All have concerns related to potential groundwater contamination. However, the NEB hearing is pushed back now that TransCanada has delayed the project. MacKenzie vows to keep the pressure on. He isn’t convinced the large and ever-growing resistance to Energy East played the biggest role in the company’s decision to back off, but the former federal Green Party president said he has been a part of enough grassroots movements to know this one had an effect.
“We will be keeping in touch with these municipalities to see if our voices can be joined with even larger ones as the process moves along,� he said. “There certainly was a lot of opposition I don’t think they were prepared for.� Perhaps strongest among those opposition voices were natural gas companies such as Direct Energy and Union. They were not impressed to hear the larger of two natural gas pipelines (42 inches) from western Canada was to be converted. TransCanada was proposing to open a small pipeline (24 inches) to bring natural gas from Pennsylvania to Markham and Iroquois. That would
Hart-mall in legal battle A notice posted by the shopping centre on the shuttered doors of the Hart store claims that the business faces “termination� from the mall because it is behind $123,297.11 on its rent. However, Hart Stores disputes that figure and in a Statement of Claim in the Superior Court of Justice seeks, amongst other things, payment from the landlord in the amount of $217,219.20. The dispute appears to be over promises made by the shopping centre in the lease contract. These include the fixing of a leaky roof, maintenance and other issues, say store staff. Hart declined to comment on the specifics of its suit, saying “it would be inappropriate for the company to comment further on that dispute while the matter is pending before the court.� In the Hart statement, company representative, Toronto lawyer Adam J. Wygodny, says that “Hart did not close its store in the Arnprior Shopping Centre. Rather, the landlord locked Hart out notwithstanding the fact that there is ongoing litigation between Hart and the landlord in the Superior Court of Justice. “Hart did not announce that its Arnprior store is closing for good. In fact, Hart made no public announcements yesterday (Wednesday) and Hart intends on continuing to operate its Arnprior store where it provides great value to the people of Arnprior and the surrounding area,� the statement continued. “The amount of $123,297.11 is the amount that the landlord claims it is owed by Hart. Hart disputes that figure and, in fact, Hart’s Statement of Claim in the Superior Court of Justice seeks, amongst other things, payment from the landlord in the amount of $217,219.20.�
Hart Stores Inc. is Quebec-based company that operates 61 stores in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, mainly in smaller towns. The closest Hart store to Arnprior is the outlet in the Pembroke West End Mall. There are also Hart stores in North Bay and Sudbury. R0023191231

mean less supply, and preferential treatment would likely go to U.S. customers. The argument that Ontario customers faced higher natural gas prices was gaining traction. TOWN HALL TOPIC
Energy East was a popular topic at the township’s April 16 town hall meeting at McNab Public School. Mayor Tom Peckett said if the pipeline is to go ahead – municipal and provincial governments have no authority over national infrastructure projects – it should be done with a new pipeline. The 35-year-old existing one is more susceptible to failure, he said. “We are not trying to scare anyone. This is information residents need to know,� Peckett said. “If something happens to that pipeline, people’s homes and tourism and everyone down river including Arnprior and Ottawa will see their drinking water affected.� One person from the audience of about 40 called it an environmental disaster waiting to happen. Natural gas evaporates in the air, oil floats, but dilbit sinks and is costly – if impossible – to remove from river bottoms and aquifers. MacKenzie said the small addition to the municipality’s revenue isn’t worth the risk. Another said transporting one million barrels of oil a day at 1,000 psi through a 42-inch pipeline that is already 35 year old is a recipe for disaster. Yet another pointed to the big picture issue of climate change and the Alberta oil sands production. She opposed the project on drinking water dangers, yes, but also because of greenhouse gases produced to extract and ship oil. No proponents spoke at the meeting.

McNab-Braeside firefighters were spotted off Highway 17 near Scheel Drive, working on a grass fire on the afternoon April 16. The patch of field was still darkened the day afterwards. As the temperatures rise, the danger of grass and brush fires grows. OPP report they assisted with traffic control at two grass fires that day, slowing traffic to ensure safety of the firefighters. The other was a shed and grass fire that was quickly extinguished on Thompson Road in Horton. There were at least two major grass fires reported in Lanark County last week as well.

RV park proponent denies copyright infringement Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
The accusations were numerous and furious in the week leading up to the expected decision over the Clay Bank RV Park proposal. A resident who lives near the proposed 200-site recreation vehicle and campground, complete with pavilion and leisure facilities, accused the developer of copyright infringement. Mayor Tom Peckett found himself repeatedly shouting down another with “Are you calling me a liar?” at the recent town hall meeting. And park architect Richard White summarized the situation as “absurd.” After the April 16 town hall meeting, Madawaska Shore owner Bob Wacha, the proponent behind the controversial project, denied the accusation that he attempted to deceive council. Did he take the 1997 architectural drawings of Clay Bank Park, change a few details, and present it at a council meeting as his own? “Let me be 100 per cent clear: the plan was given to me by a township official as part of their previous plans,” Wachna said. “At no time did I ever deface that plan. I never once said it was my plan. It’s the township’s plan.” He went on to say the document he presented was never meant to be considered “final drawings” and that it was used to simply show what the township had and how he would like to “come close to that.” He would not reveal the name of the town-

She points to the tion from council. He denied the charge, saying he found out everything at the same time as the others. But the accusation came on louder. That set Peckett off in a shouting match with the resident, saying “Are you calling me a liar? Are you calling me a liar? Because if you are there’s the door. This meeting will be cancelled.” When tempers subsided opponents peppered council and Madawaska Shores with a litany of concerns: • Surrounding residential property values will plummet;

Blair Young was annoyed with having to defend the status quo. “I’m getting a little tired of all this. Why don’t they find out if they can get it done first, then come out to us,” he said. “We’re going to have kids from Arnprior up that road; $100 a tent; falling into ditches; cops flying in. I don’t see jobs. I just see a menace.” Proponents appeared overwhelmed and deflated. Burnstown developer Susan Anglin said she heard the concerns and appreciates the dialog. Maybe compromises can be found. But all over Ontario campgrounds are operating safely and respectful of neighbours. “This is not a new thing,” Anglin said. “I think we should keep our minds open.” Wachna almost pleaded with the opponents, saying he is from a small town and “I want to be a good neighbour.” Bruce Firestone, real estate agent for Madawaska Shores, spoke of the project in past tense. He also offered an apology. “This might be my fault. I was the one who mentioned it to Bob,” Firestone said. “I thought a campground and RV sites here would be a good thing. If anyone’s to blame for this, it’s not the mayor. It’s probably me.” Council was expected to vote on the proposal at Tuesday’s meeting, after press deadline.

About 40 people attended the new township council’s first McNabBraeside town hall meeting. Held at McNab Public School on April 16, the meeting was touted as the new councillors’ way to boost openness and transparency, and to foster a dialogue between residents and their elected representatives at the municipal level. Mayor Tom Peckett kicked off the meeting by encouraging questions, but it quickly became apparent the audience wanted him to describe each of the suggested topics – township buildings, Energy East pipeline proposal, and Clay Bank RV park proposal – before engaging. He referred to a public buildings study completed last year as “not a very glowing report.” Worst off is the salt and sand shed garage in Braeside; it must be replaced. Next is the Braeside RA Centre. If not replaced, it will cost the township $400,000 just for maintenance over the next 10 years. After that it will need to be replaced anyway because it doesn’t comply with the province’s accessibility requirements. “Council is considering replacing that building,” Peckett said. He said the municipal hall is “a disgrace” and not compatible to good working conditions. There sometimes isn’t enough room to fit all visitors to council chambers, such as a few weeks back when service awards were handed out to firefighters. It too is not accessibility compatible.
The White Lake recreation centre faces “substantial repairs” and the McNab Centre Park ball field on Calabogie Road needs new washrooms and a storage shed. “We have our hands full as far as buildings go,” said Peckett. The fire department is also behind in equipment at its three locations. To keep residential fire insurance rates down, the township has to buy two new pumper trucks. A mini will more easily navigate narrow roads such as those in Rhoddy’s Bay. A larger one is being built. “If we left this for 20 years, all of you would see your insurance rates go up substantially.” Road work this summer includes Golf Club Road and others. However, the second half of Duncan Drive (heading to the soccer fields) won’t be done until heavy equipment used at a subdivision under construction is finished next year. Many roads need to go from a ‘poor’ rating to ‘fair’. If in the former, they cost $470,000 per kilometre each to replace, Peckett explained. But if in the latter, it is more like $200,000 per kilometre to maintain. River Road near Usborne Street will see work done, as will McLean Drive near Usborne. Both will be paid for by the county. A “class A” clover leaf will be created at Highway 417 and McLean and Calabogie roads. The county will pay for study and design work on the White Lake Bridge. Major repairs will be done in 2016. Work will be done this summer at

The Town of Arnprior is finally moving forward in earnest with both work and planning for the downtown infrastructure revitalization project. An April 16 meeting at the Arnprior Public Library attracted about 40 people to listen to and comment on plans for the project. Civil engineering officer John Steckly presented the information on behalf of the town. “There were the questions and comments from the business and property owners involved,â€? said Steckly. “The meeting was a brief overview of where we began and where we are today and where (we) are planning on going.â€? Steckly explained the proposed project area limits: • John Street North from Madawaska Street to William Street West; • Elgin Street West from Daniel Street North to Madawaska Street; • McGonigal Street West from Daniel Street North to end (west of Edward Street North);
• Hugh Street North from McGonigal Street West to Elgin Street West; • New storm sewer and outlet along Madawaska Street from John Street North to the Madawaska River. The concept is for full reconstruction from entire roadwork, sidewalks, streetscaping and landscaping, as well as updating the sewer and water main systems. The project includes separating the sewer and storm water pipes. “There are combined sewer pipes for sanitary waste water and the storm water in town,â€? said Steckly, explaining the flows get carried to the municipal sewage plant. “The separate sewers would reduce flows and frees up the capacity to the plant. The water main and sewer pipes are dated around 1910 and 1920.â€? The only official work for the downtown revitalization initiative that has the green light to date is the rehabilitation of the stretch of McGonigal Street between John Street North and Daniel Street North. “We are aiming for the beginning of July this summer to

Is hypnosis safe? Very. Hypnosis is not an altered state of consciousness (as sleep is, for example), but simply a relaxed experience of consciousness, which is brought about by using suggestion to re-configure the properties of the imagination. And anything that can be imagined can be un-imagined just as easily. Even the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) refers to hypnosis as “The quickest and most effective way to make behavioral changes.� TheNewYouTour.com rolls into Arnprior on Tuesday, April 28 at the Nick Smith Center Arena, 77 James Street.

TheNewYouTour.com kicked off its 42-City Tour on April 8th, in Lindsay Ontario. Uxbridge was a sell-out. And communities across Ontario are coming out. Matt Bloom, CH BA, Certified Hypnotherapist and former host of Rogers Television show ‘A New Day’ is committed to not only helping people make positive life changes, but has dedicated a percentage of his Tour Sales to SickKids Foundation.
The rest of the initiative’s plans will be discussed at a council meeting in May to analyze the possible phasing of the project and the pros and cons to various options. “The revitalization work could last two years,� said Steckly. “It could go to four to five years.� The plan is expected to be finalized by the end of the year, so more work can proceed in 2016.
Terry Thompson is speaking out against his detractors. During a recent McNab-Braeside council committee meeting, a few of the property owner’s neighbours submitted letters opposing his request to use a township access point next to his property. He brought to the ChronicleGuide office a two-year-old petition with some 22 names of nearby residents; they have no complaints about activities on his land. Thompson rejects assertions of camping parties and monster truck demonstrations on his land. He said a few trailers camped near his house one night a few years ago and the township claimed he was running an illegal campground. However, the case was tossed out of court, he said. He owns a monster truck, but can’t get it through his access point. He wants to include it in the Arnprior Christmas parade, but needs the township’s access point to do so. Township council hasn’t decided whether to give him permission to use the access point. For the full story, visit www.yourottawavalley.com/arnprior.
DEREK DUNN/METROLAND
Township recognizes firefighters’ service Mayor Tom Peckett thanks all members of the McNab-Braeside Fire Department for their commitment to serving their community. They met at the township’s council chamber to celebrate those with 10 years of service, including Andrew Hamilton, Kevin Murray, Scott McGuire, Paul McCormick, Jason Robertson, Chad Trudeau and Rod Vallier. Five-year service pins were presented to Dwayne Lalonde, Mike Coulas, Chris Crowder and Nicholas Tourangeau. Peckett said he was on scene for a devastating house fire recently, and “I don’t know if I could do what you do, putting yourselves on the line for this community.”
Arnprior fire department stresses need for volunteers and carbon monoxide alarms
Scott Campbell
Itʼs become mandatory for homes throughout Ontario to have a carbon monoxide alarm. The law came to effect on April 15 and failure to have an alarm could result in a fines. That was one of several items raised in the Arnprior fire departmentʼs annual report. The regular meeting of Arnprior council on April 13 included the presentation of the report for the year 2014 by fire chief John Okum. An analysis of incidents in 2014 concluded that 11 per cent of calls to the Arnprior fire department were connected to carbon monoxide. A week of awareness in 2014 also helped making people understand the importance of carbon monoxide safety as the gas is called ʻsilent killerʼ. VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT
Okum suggested the biggest challenge facing the fire department going forward is the recruiting of in-town volunteers and retaining them. The Arnprior fire department is made up of a chief and two fire prevention and protection officers who are working full-time, but otherwise the rest of the firefighters are volunteers. “The department has 73 per cent of its volunteer responders that work out of town and 46 per cent of the responders who live outside the town limits,” said Okum in his report. With 26 members, the number doesnʼt always mean there will be all hands on deck, depending on the time of day. Yet, the members still put in the time, in-
cluding 2,552 hours for emergency response and volunteer training. The difficult part is getting more attendance for training and retaining the volunteers. “2015 will focus on finalizing capital purchases, recruiting and the implementation of the new training program,” said the report. “Recruiting and training of volunteer firefighters is timely and involves commitments on behalf of the individuals and the fire department. The success, however, yields benefits to the individuals, the fire department and the community.” The extra silver lining noted Okum, is that there were individuals involved in the final stages of the recruitment process and the department would be offering positions in the foreseeable future. The new recruitment program presented interested applicants with key departmental information so they can make well-versed decisions about committing to a position of volunteer firefighting. The program also included multiple levels of testing that is geared to the job functions of a firefighter. For total calls related to fire, it came to 12 per cent in 2014. The estimated fire loss in Arnprior stood at just under $1.2 million. Reeve Walter Stack was content with the number. One particular fire attributed to most of the loss, coming in at over a million dollars in 2014. If the million dollar number was taken out of the equation, the difference of losses between 2013 and 2014 was actually quite small, he noted. The other incident reports for response calls were - 3% outdoor burning, 6% prefire conditions, 39% fire calls, 6% public hazard, 12% rescue and 11% falls and others. The fire department also replaced equipment and vehicles and scheduled a long-
term plan with the support through the townʼs budget. Despite the challenges of recruiting and retaining firefighters, on a whole council was pleased with the report and approved it. The Town of Arnprior will also undertake a master fire plan and study fire protection services. Largely though, the people who are willing to take on the work and effort and jump into their firefighters gear deserve a lot of credit, council concluded.

Basically, the way it works is the government sets a cap on the amount of emissions that a company can produce. If they want to produce more, then they have to buy carbon credits from other companies that are burning less than they are allowed. In theory, when it was envisioned cap and trade was supposed to act as an incentive for companies to reduce Co2 emissions. In reality, through the purchase of credits, polluters simply pay more for the right to produce more carbon dioxide emissions. The experience in Europe has seen actual emissions rise under their cap and trade system. So if the goal was to reduce carbon emissions it would have to be considered a complete failure. Here is the reason I believe the Wynne government has adopted this scheme. It has absolutely nothing to do with reducing Co2 emissions. It has everything to do with generating more revenue for a government that has put us on the verge of bankruptcy. The cap and trade scheme is forecasted to raise about two billion dollars a year. We all know that if business is paying two billion dollars more per year for carbon credits they will pass that cost onto you, the consumer. In Liberal math it is perfect, they get two billion dollars without raising taxes and the consumer picks up the tab. They claim it is going to raise the price of gasoline by about 3 cents a litre. My experience and I’m sure yours too is this: in the past when the Liberals have said that something will cost you nothing there is a cost, and when they say it will cost you a little it inevitably costs you a lot. We need only to look at what has happened with our hydro bills over the past several years.

I guess we should have seen it coming. Well, in fact, I did see it coming. When oil prices plunged the good news for people who drive was that they were going to be saving money at the pumps relative to the peak prices we had been experiencing. The bad news is Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals saw this as a golden opportunity to extract more money from your pockets for every litre you have burned. You see the Liberal Government passed cap and trade legislation back in 2009. Having witnessed the disastrous federal election for the Liberal Party under Stéphane Dion they decided not to move ahead. With a minority government elected in 2011 the issue was a non-starter. However, once Kathleen Wynne won a majority in 2014, the question was not if, but when she would move on cap and trade, or what I prefer to call “pay to pollute” legislation.

Speaking of electricity, as I am writing this column we are waiting for the release of Ed Clark’s report concerning the sale of public assets. Look for the province to go ahead with the selling of the majority of Hydro One. We will continue to follow this closely holding them to account and doing our best to ensure that you get fair value for any asset sold. We will also endeavour to ensure that the government directs the proceeds of any sale in an appropriate manner. On April 14th, the government announced that the budget will be tabled on April 23rd. We should have a better picture by then of what the government’s plans are with respect to tackling the deficit that they have created and how it will impact you. Stay tuned. 0423.R0013240859

Keep the prayers at church and home O
h, oh. The latest ruling that reciting prayers at the start of municipal council meetings is a no-no will not go over well with the fundamentalists, no matter what their religion. However, itʟs likely most people either donʟt care or agree with the Supreme Court of Canada, which ruled last week that a council in Saguenay, Quebec, canʟt open its meetings with a Catholic prayer as it has been doing for years. In a unanimous decision, the countryʟs top court (most of whom, by the way, were appointed by the Conservative government) ruled prayer at a secular meeting infringes on freedom of conscience and religion. In response, several councils, including Ottawaʟs, have stopped reciting a prayer, even if it is non-denominational, before their meetings. Ottawa council now has a brief minute of silent reection instead. While the case was being heard, the Saguenay council replaced the prayer with two minutes of silence. This latest ruling puts a new wrinkle into the debate Renfrew County council is expected to have next Wednesday over whether it should continue to recite a prayer prior to its meetings. Council will discuss a notice of motion by new Head, Clara and Maria Mayor Jim Gibson, an atheist, that argues the prayer should
be replaced by a moment of silent reection. If his motion gets a seconder, that is. That appeared to be in doubt until Warden Peter Emon indicated he will second the motion to allow for discussion. Good for him. Better to get the issue debated now than let if fester. It is expected, County councillors, who tend to be small c Conservatives and nervous about the vocal minority who feel dropping the prayer would be a betrayal of the countryʟs Christian heritage, will retain the prayer. However, the wisest course would be to drop the whole thing. No prayer, no reective moment, just get down to work. If individual councillors want to say a prayer or take a minute to reect prior to the meeting, let them do it on their own time. Many municipal councils no longer recite prayers prior to meetings. Arnprior hasnʟt for years. McNab-Braeside used to prior to last yearʟs election but doesnʟt now. Mississippi Mills doesnʟt. Lanark County council doesnʟt (except for swearing-in day). And now Ottawa doesnʟt. And their worlds havenʟt come to an end. Councils have plenty on their plate to keep them busy. Itʟs a complex job these days and councillors need all the help they can get, including our prayers. But they should keep their own prayers to themselves and get on with the job at hand.

Volunteers create ripple effects Continued from Page 8
Just think about all they achieve! About all we can achieve together. Each volunteer creates a ripple effect, inspiring others to follow suit.
One act of giving at a time: this is how a smart and caring nation is built. I want to take this opportunity to thank the millions of volunteers who have given so much to so many. I would like to thank
Wilford’s name at Vimy Continued from Page 8
The 1891 census had listed Jessie McNab as a daughter living in the same household, so it is assumed that she was Isabella’s daughter from a previous marriage. Presumably Jessie died soon after childbirth. James, a resident of Edmonton is listed as his next of kin on his attestation papers signed March 8, 1916. These records also list Wilford’s profession as cheese maker. At six feet even he was a tall man, with fair features. He served with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, and was reported dead Wednesday, April 11, 1917. His name is recorded on the Vimy Memorial. Russell Staye Arnprior
them for all they have done for others, and for all they continue to do. I am truly grateful. I also want to call on all of Canada’s volunteers to share their stories widely, to inspire others to give. Anyone who has spent time volunteering has a story to tell. A story of compassion, of accomplishment, of personal growth and discovery. When we give, we, of course, help others and strengthen our communities, but we also grow as people. We learn who we are. As the saying goes, the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. The remarkable power of story-telling is one reason why I was so pleased to help inspire the My Giving Moment campaign. Since its launch two years ago, tens of thou-
sands of Canadians have shared their stories at mygivingmoment.ca. And it’s about so much more than sharing stories: it’s about inspiring people and challenging them to give. There are so many ways to volunteer and give back, and so many wonderful tales to be told. During this National Volunteer Week, I ask you to thank a volunteer, and if you are one, to tell your story and to dare someone to find their giving moment. Even the biggest wave starts out as a ripple. So let’s start now! Thank you for giving rise to a new wave of caring and giving in Canada. David Johnston Governor General, Canada
Our volunteers, our community To the Editor: Volunteers are leading social change and impacting communities around the world. Every year during National Volunteer Week, we have the opportunity to celebrate their efforts and contributions. People across our region give their time to various initiatives, serving on boards, and pitching in to help raise funds for various organizations. These volunteers quietly and cheerfully give their time and energy, enabling local organizations working in the social services, environment, sports or culture sectors to deliver services that help boost our quality of life. I want to take this opportunity to thank my fellow volunteers at the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), an agency of Government of Ontario and the largest granting foundation in Canada. Our volunteers bring their community-based knowledge to the table, and help to inform the Foundation’s investments in the non-profit
sector. In fact, there are teams of volunteers in 16 regions across the province. Their hard work is critical to OTF’s work and its ability to help charitable and non-profit organizations build healthier and more vibrant communities. The impact of OTF volunteers does not stop there. OTF investments create a ripple effect of volunteerism across the province. Here in the Champlain area, approximately 14,000 volunteers contributed more than 350,000 hours of their time to support organizations that received funding from our Foundation. If we translate their efforts into monetary value, it comes to almost $8.6M of giving! I know that there are so many more people here in Champlain, who give their time and energy to help out their neighbours. Ruth Mackenzie Champlain Grant Review Team Ontario Trillium Foundation

Since 2006, I have been active as your Member of Parliament to deliver stable, predictable, permanent infrastructure funding to our local municipalities. Only your Federal Conservative Government provides an annual infrastructure funding transfer to municipalities. Last year, federal gas tax transfers to local municipalities in Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke totalled almost 6 million dollars. All this was done without raising taxes or adding to the deficit.
L’Arche Arnprior homes coordinator Tracy Tenedero celebrates the first anniversary of becoming a Canadian citizen with L’Arche Arnprior assistants co-ordinator Renelle Simmons, who baked the cake. NANCY ILLMAN/ SUBMITTED
Unique in Canada, our Conservative Government delivers the federal GasTax Fund, in partnership with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, directly to all Renfrew County municipalities. Unlike application based infrastructure programs being proposed by the opposition, funding is fairly distributed by our Conservative Government on a per capita basis, year after year, with a legislated, permanent, predictable formula. That means municipalities can set local priorities without having to go beg Toronto and waste money retaining expensive consultants and lobbyists on a provincial process that has been likened to buying a lottery ticket with the same odds of receiving funding. In another example of fairness at the federal level, the populationbased funding from the federal gas tax is transferred with no strings attached. Like our local, well-run municipalities that operate on a pay-as-you-can-afford basis, the Federal Government shares that attitude of living within one’s means. While our government continues to make record investments in infrastructure, we will balance the budget this year, continue to reduce taxes for Canadian families, and provide for a secure retirement. As your Federal Member of Parliament, I am pleased to represent you on a variety of issues. Whether that issue is promoting agriculture, international trade, Canadian Unity, AECL, CNL, the military or jobs in the working forest, I am here to serve you! As always, if you have any concerns of a federal nature, or just want to share your views with me, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The following, submitted by Nancy Illman, is a reflection by Tracy Tenedero, who celebrates his first anniversary of becoming a Canadian citizen this month. O, Canada! As I sang the national anthem with dignity and pride, eyes shut and remembering the history of this great nation - a nation filled with rich history and diverse culture the moment caught me up and carried me away with memories of the past eight years of beautiful friendship, joy, struggle, harsh winter, picturesque summers, and love. It all started, I guess, when I felt the urge of the call, some umpteen years ago, reading the book â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Portraits of healing: prayers of wholenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Jean Acheson. It was a book about the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience of healing, not just her own but that of a community of believers in Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arche. It echoed my calling to be with my own people. The stories of the people in that book - stories of brokenness, relationship and forgiveness - opened my eyes and lit a fire in my belly. In my brokenness, I find Thee. It was more than eight years ago, in May of 2005, when I started my journey to travel to the great country of Canada. Months before, I was browsing through Google, and stumbled on an invitation to work with Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arche. I was hyped. I knew little about the great north - I applied to Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arche Manitoba, thinking at that time that it was the closest community to my sister in Michigan and blindly answered the questionnaire with nothing in my mind but the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;what can I possibly lose?â&#x20AC;? Three months later, Laurie Vanholt e-mailed me and pointed out the differences between working for Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arche and the other programs which were available in Canada. I still said yes. Not long after, Brian Arthur started corresponding with me, and we finally completed the interview. I can still remember pacing back and forth in my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; living room, during this interview with a 12-
hour time difference! I was excited, exhilarated and nervous. After the interview, I was told that Brian was going to submit the interview results to the board of directors and that I would be hearing from them. Eventually, after a little application of patience and nail-biting, much paperwork, and time spent waiting for my visa, I managed to survive the 21+-hour flight to Vancouver. That journey was my longest Feb. 1 ever! One more plane ride to go. It was the one going to Ottawa. This was a much shorter flight: only five hours, but it took me from the far west end of the country all the way east to Ottawa. I was like a little kid, enjoying my first glimpses of the Canadian landscape from some 30,000 feet above ground: snow, rugged terrain, frozen lakes, more snow ... it was the middle of one of the longest winters Canada has ever had. Landing at the Ottawa airport, I was welcomed with a loving and warm hug from Beverly and Renelle. After almost 30 hours of travel, my head was as mangled as the only box that I had brought with me (ask Renelle about that!). I was so excited to see snow: even in my thin winter jacket, I managed to hold a lump of snow and smiled for the photo op. Bev would soon admonish me never to eat yellow snow, advice which I have whole-heartedly followed. Coming into Arnprior, I got more excited, exclaiming to Bev and Renelle that the town was beautiful (it still is) and big (it is not). And lo and behold: there were two gigantic mounds of snow in front of Lake Street house â&#x20AC;Ś wow! They were quite amazing. Then there were my first meetings with the folks at Lake Street. Cindy welcomed me to her kitchen, as she was putting away her lunch kit from the day program. She gave me a hug and told me that she was making supper that night. See A PICNIC, page 12

A picnic at Robert Simpson for a first Canada Day: Tenedero Continued from Page 10
It didn’t take long for Lary to take me in hand and give me a tour around the house. That was the best tour that I have ever had, something that only Lary could do. Then I met Gilles, Mark and Rita, by whom I was addressed as ‘The Man’. Next I met Kerry, who was still occupying one of the upstairs
rooms at that time. As I have told you, winter was long that year, but it eventually went away. Then spring came. I remember telling an assistant how nice the smell of spring was. The assistant told me it smelled like dog poop - it was hilarious! I hadn’t even noticed. Then summer came, and brought more beauty to the town. I remember my first Canada Day.

The whole crew was going to Robert Simpson Park for a picnic. Everyone was walking, one after the other on the sidewalk, with our sunblock laden skin, and hats on our heads. Gilles didn’t want to wear a hat, and Annie had to negotiate. This was my first time to witness fireworks on Canada Day. Then fall. Thanksgiving was the main event and the house turkey was my first. That event made me realise how much Rita loved her turkey wings. It didn’t take long for the trees to start turning and the leaves falling one by one, and shortly after, winter was back. Christmas caroling at the Bartel’s was a community occasion. Tammy prepared apple cider and hot chocolate and meticulously peeled a bunch of clementines while the rest of us practiced singing Christmas carols. By this time, I was smarter: winter was not going to freeze me anymore. A thicker jacket and wearing layers was the answer! Christmas was the time of the year that I and the other assistants helped the folks pack and prepare for visits with their families. Everyone was excited! Kerry McKay went to his brother Darrel’s place, Rita and Lary went to see family in Toronto, Gilles went to Terry’s, Mark visited with Mom and Dad and Cindy got picked up by her sister Val to be with her mom. It may seem to you like a short time, but believe me, it was a long first year. I haven’t even mentioned our Easter time celebrations with the hat party, our vacation group in Barrie, exploring the town and much, much more. Year in and year out, life here has brought me abundance. My journey not only brought me to Canada, but also to many parts of this country In 2007, Lary took me with him to the Calgary Stampede, then we made our way to Saskatchewan to visit with Kevin Bartel’s family. My friend from L’Arche Cape Breton invited me to visit, where I managed to see the Cabot Trail and the Big Fiddle in Sydney, N.S. A community exchange with Toronto connected me with Mortimer house, just to name a few of my travels. My adventures were not all fun. Forming re-
Tracy Tenedero spent his first Canada Day with Gilles and other friends from L’Arche. lationships are sometimes painful. I remember my time at Lake Street, and how I struggled to form a friendship with Gilles. Most of the time we would butt heads. It was difficult. But the time came that I realized I don’t have to change anyone else but me. I gave up controlling and started telling him that I would no longer be telling him what to do, and that I would let him take control. I think that made the difference in our relationship, when I started letting him become himself and shifted my attitude from making him do what I wanted, to allowing him to take charge. Along the way too came the experience of losing close and dear people. One of the greatest learnings I have had was experiencing the death of Cindy in 2008. She was the first person that I have lived and shared life with who has died. It was painful, but also served as a great life lesson, letting me appreciate the value of life, friendship and love. It paved the way to my acceptance of this life event in a more meaningful manner. I remember the passing of people here in L’Arche who have touched my life in one way or the other: Lee Anne, Doris, Jerry, Junie, Ernie, Kerry - my heart breaks. Eight years of fun, living, learning and love: as I took my oath of citizenship, eyes shut, embracing and loving each word - O Canada! You have made me a better person.

In Spring there is more than love in the air With winter now a distant memory, spring is putting on quite a show. Wildflowers now eagerly bask in unimpeded sunlight falling on south-facing slopes. Bird song greets the awakening day while frog choruses salute the arrival of night. These long-absent vocal performances are, of course, targeted not for our ears but for those of females of their species. They are also informing other males that they aren’t welcome to visit the real estate from which the singer is calling. The declaration of territory ownership occasionally brings a need to defend it. Recently I saw two quite different examples of territorial aggression. One took place at the outlet of a marsh. A pair of Canada Geese had set up shop in the marsh, and spent much time inspecting cattail beds as possible nest sites. The pair was busily exchanging goose niceties when a lone goose landed where the outlet meets the lake, some distance from the territorial pair and completely out of sight. The lone goose truly seemed lonely for right after landing it began to loudly call. Its noisy lament continued for nearly five minutes, but mine were not the only ears to find its repetitive complaint irritating. Suddenly one of the territorial geese, presumably the male, came flying into view. It started to call just before it landed, and when did it was mere metres from the lone goose. As soon as it skidded to a halt, the new ar-
rival glared at the intruder and lunged at it. With open beak it closed in on the other goose, which quickly began to scamper across the water in an effort to escape. It quickly got airborne with its antagonist following Michael Runtz close behind. Nature’s Way A dog chase ensued and the two geese circled around the bay several times. When the lone goose landed on the water again, the territorial bird plopped down beside it and began to chase it, water flying everywhere. After completing a figure eight on top of the water, the lone goose took to the air and this time hightailed it out to the middle of the lake. The victorious male returned to its mate in the marsh, no doubt eager to relate the details of his great triumph. The other case of aggression involved two very different birds. A Red-tailed Hawk that was perched atop a large tree in a field decided to take an aerial survey. No sooner had it soared up on its great wings than an American Crow took exception to its presence. While uttering guttural obscenities, the crow repeatedly dive-bombed the hawk.
The Red-tailed continued to circle over the field, but the persistent crow refused to stop its verbal assault. While it never hit the hawk, the crow came close several times. Eventually the hawk conceded and departed for quieter air space. No doubt the crow breathed easier with this highly skilled predator no longer present in its domain. Spring may be full of romantic interludes, but at times more than love calls fill the air! The Nature Number is 613-387-2503; email is mruntz@start.ca.

A new subsidy program to help low income families afford to pay their hydro bills doesn’t impress Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski. In a news release, Yakabuski charges that the provincial government fails to understand that hydro rates are too expensive for everyone in Ontario. The Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) will provide roughly a $38 stipend every month to low-income families. “Everyone understands that low-income electricity consumers are struggling in this province - almost everyone is struggling because of the Liberal’s reckless energy policies” said Yakabuski. “While no one is arguing that low-income families should not have more affordable rates, the people who fall outside this group are struggling to pay these exorbitant hydro fees as
well.” As well, Ontarians should have no faith in the government’s ability to execute the new policy competently, he added. Ontarians have watched the cancellation of the gas plants costing over a billion dollars, witnessed the smart meters fiasco result in almost double what it was supposed to cost at $1.9 billion and have seen the selling off of energy to competitors in neighbouring jurisdictions at a loss of about $1.3 billion last year. “How much more bureaucracy will be needed to administer LEAP?” asked Yakabuski. “According to Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli’s own numbers, the average person’s hydro bill will go up $137 next year - people just can’t afford that,” said Yakabuski. “In 2016, Ontarians are to be hit with a massive increase - it is a ticking time bomb,” he concluded.

THINKING OF BUYING OR SELLING IN 2015? Now is the time to call Greg
The Ontario Progressive Conservative Caucus is asking the government to commit to reducing energy prices so that all people and businesses no longer have to pay some of the highest energy costs in North America, Ontario PC Energy
Critic John Yakabuski said in a news release Tuesday. The Renfrew-NipissingPembroke MPP said the hydro request is the fifth and final commitment the PC Caucus is looking for in today’s (Thursday’s) provincial budget.
“Rates have skyrocketed by more than $1,000 a year for the average homeowner since you took office,” he told the Liberal provincial government. See HYDRO Page 17

Arnprior CAO to receive award for infrastructure financing article Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chief Administrative Officer Michael Wildman will be recognized for an article he wrote on municipal finances with a provincial engineering award. He will receive the award this fall from the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
The OACETT Publications Award is granted to an individual or group to recognize authorship of an outstanding feature-length published article, paper or work. Wildman authored a feature article entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Coping in Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fiscal Realityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which was published last year in the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; magazine, Municipal Monitor. Last September, Wildman was a guest speaker at the Ontario East Municipal Conference on the topic. The article highlights strategies for municipalities to help cope with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial pressures and among other things it links infrastructure renewal to asset management. Many of the strategies have been put in place with success in Arnprior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Town of Arnprior is extremely proud of Michael on winning the OACETT Publications Award; but more importantly we are very pleased that Michael has very successfully implemented the strategies highlighted in his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Coping in Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fiscal Realityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; article to help overcome
the significant financial challenges, here at the Town of Arnprior,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor David Reid. OACETT is a non-profit, self-governing, professional association with more than 24,000 members. The organization, which was incorporated in 1962, promotes the interests of engineering and applied science technicians and technologists in industry, educational institutions, the public and government. Every two years OACETTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial Honours and Awards recognizes and honours outstanding contributions made by individuals
and organizations whose work has had a major impact on the association, the engineering and applied science technology field, and their communities in 10 award categories. Wildman will receive the award at the Provincial Honours and Awards Gala in October in Toronto. In 2011, he was awarded the George Burwash Langford Memorial Award for career contributions to the profession of engineering/ applied science technology.

St. Joe’s scores high in Fraser Institute rankings Staff
Local schools have fared well in the ranks of the Fraser Institute’s annual report on Ontario secondary schools. St. Joseph’s Catholic School, which has many Arnprior area students, is seventh on the list of 749 schools rated in the province. Arnprior District High School finished in the top half of the 749 schools ranked coming in at 344th. Renfrew Collegiate Institute is ranked 306th, Almonte District High School 421st, Opeongo
High School 575th and West Carleton Secondary School in Dunrobin 17th. St. Joe’s earns an overall rating of 9.1 of 10 possible points. RCI sits at 6.6 and ADHS is at 6.4, up slightly over last year’s 6.1. The Fraser Institute published its annual ranking of Ontario secondary schools April 19. The Report Card on Ontario’s Secondary Schools ranks public, Catholic, and private secondary schools. The rankings, controversial and decried by
Donna Nych Broker 613-623-7303
some educators as an unfair comparision, are based on seven academic indicators using data from the annual province-wide tests of literacy and math skills. Detailed results of all 749 schools can be found at the Fraser Institute’s website www. compareschoolrankings.org. “Our rankings are the go-to source for parents who want to find out how their child’s school is doing compared to other schools in their community,” said Peter Cowley, Fraser Institute director of school performance studies.

Mike Labelle, Sales Rep 613-797-0202
Two very different schools finished one-two in this year’s report card. Ottawa’s Minto, a Francophone Catholic school specializing in trades training, ranked first with an overall rating of 10 (out of 10). Havergal, a Toronto-based private school for girls, ranked second with an overall rating of 9.4. The ranking of elementary schools was released earlier this year. The Fraser Institute started ranking elementary schools in 2003 and secondary schools in 2007.

Hydro One sale questioned Continued from Page 14
“Now you’re selling a majority stake in Hydro One to raise money you can’t come up with otherwise.” And the Ontario Energy Board will not provide any help on rates, Yakabuski added. “Why should ratepayers believe your line that the OEB will limit rate increases when, just yesterday, they approved a rate increase of over $68 a year?” Additionally, Yakabuski
pointed out that the Liberals never campaigned on the sale of Hydro One and had never held hearings on the matter – they are simply moving ahead, without even a cost-benefit analysis to show the merits of a majority sale. Questioning the real motivation behind the sale of a majority of the Hydro One utility, Yakabuski asked Premier Kathleen Wynne if she “would still have sold a majority stake in Hydro One if you had a balanced budget?”

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is recognizing its volunteers who are supporting conservation and stewardship activities across the country. Included is Arnprior where the organization maintains Gilles Grove with the support of volunteers. In marking National Volunteer Week, the private land conservation organization paid tribute to the thousands of Canadians who give their time and talents each year to help care for some of this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important natural places. Nature Conservancy of Canada President and CEO John Lounds says without volunteers, many of our key conservation actions could not be undertaken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteers are the backbone of our country and are indeed the heart and soul of the Nature Conservancy of Canada. They are a precious resource and continue to lend strength in the communities where we work,â&#x20AC;? said Lounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteers roll up their sleeves to help plant trees, clean up shorelines, remove invasive species and so much more. The list of volunteer activities is endless.â&#x20AC;? Conservation Volunteer (CV) events are designed to help NCC care for the natural places under its protection, while offering a blend of new experiences and new skills development all set against the backdrop of some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most spectacular natural places. At CV events, volunteers can pick up new skills and hone old ones. For example, butterfly counts and bird inventories put observation (and listening) skills to the test. Some will learn trade skills as they repair a boardwalk, or build a nest box for the first time. Participants learn how to become

Knights choose Substance Abuse Awareness Poster contest winners The winners of the annual Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Poster competition were announced lately at two local schools. Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2082 Grand Knight Wayne Pickering visited the winning students to present them with their certificates. The Substance Abuse Poster Contest encourages students in the 8-11 and 12-14 age groups to develop an original poster and slogan in the drug and alcohol abuse categories. The posters will aim to discourage their peers from experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Each year there are four possible winners with one chosen from each category. Each student that enters receives a Knights of Columbus certificate for their participation. “It’s these children who make the substance abuse program so successful,” said Darcy Fridgen, the Arnprior Knights of Columbus Council 2028 chairman of the substance abuse program. “It makes a huge difference to have the kids involved in these contests. It really brings home what the future effects of alcohol and drug abuse can have on their friends and families … it’s all about awareness.” First-place winners from Knights of Columbus Coun-

Computer thief suspect identified on security camera and refusing to pay, say police.

Imagine you were a curler. After such a cold winter - would you have been keen to play on the Madawaska River? According to Arnprior Curling Clubʼs record book published in 1993 for the clubʼs 125th anniversary, curlers played on a bay in the river back in 1865. The first club was established in 1868 and was built on Victoria Street. The open air rink on the Madawaska River was still being played on. It was 1886 when the club finally became incorporated.
This would span 147 years of history of curling clubs buildings in Arnprior. There have been many versions of the club throughout that time. There was one in 1871 and again in 1876 where it moved to Harriet Street. That location was demolished in 1899, when a two-sheet curling rink showed up on Elgin Street. It was revamped to a three-sheet rink in 1935 and even included a ballroom. The club finally has settled on the Arnprior Fairgrounds in 1969 and officially opened to the community in 1970. Over time, curling clubs without artificial ice had a harder time attracting new members because natural ice had a short ice season – only mid-December to midMarch.

BAM prepares for one of region’s biggest golf tournaments derek.dunn@metroland.com

The annual BAM Golf Tournament in memory of Brodie Armstrong is asking for companies to show their support once again this year. Money raised helps Arnprior District High School, so students and parents of students are also encouraged to participate this summer. tional Leadership Camp near Orillia,” Pecora said.
“I continue to be very grateful and impressed by the generosity of the memorial fundraising done in Brodieʼs name.” Pecora hopes to purchase four new saxophones and some risers for Red Velvet this year. He hopes to attend the tournament this summer. Along with 18 holes of golf, use of a cart, a hamburger lunch and steak dinner, there will be loot bags filled with memorabilia, lanyards, BAM wear, auction items, door prizes, even toques. “But we need the help and support of businesses to donate and get involved,” Candace said, adding in past years the generosity of local companies has touched her family. The tournament is for all skill levels; both the long course and the shorter, mostly par-three course will be used. BAM has become one of the most popular golf tournaments in the region, with about 160 participants and some 50 businesses contributing. “Thatʼs pretty awesome,” Candace said.
“Itʼs one of the biggest tournaments around. Iʼd just like to see it get bigger and bigger every year. Brodie would love that.”

A golf tournament that raises money for high school equipment while keeping the memory alive of an Arnprior musician is ready to take on business donations. The third annual BAM (Brodie Armstrong Memorial) Golf Tournament is slated for Saturday, July 25 at the Madawaska Golf Course. Brodie was a member of the club, so it is fitting that it was decided on as a memorial when a few days after his tragic death at 21 years old, family and friends were brainstorming over what to do. “We wanted to do something that would get together all his golf buddies and us too, in the family, to have a good time,” said Candace Armstrong, Brodieʼs sister. “Anyone who knew Brodie or his family or just wants to show their support should come out for the day. “His spiritʼs there for sure;
thereʼs lots of laughs and smiles, just like he did.” Organizers encourage students and parents from Arnprior District High School, where Brodie graduated in 2009, to consider participating this year. Money raised goes to buying much needed musical instruments, science equipment or anything else the school deems necessary. Last year the high school bought five guitars and four sax mouthpieces, which were used for practice and at the annual Christmas concert, explained music teacher Frank Pecora. BAM also paid for the schoolʼs Ontario Vocal Jazz Festival registration and lowered the cost of a trip to Halifax for 45 students. “In the second semester we purchased a new sound board, several new speakers and a graphic equalizer, which we debuted at the graduation ceremony in June. “We had some money left over, which I used to send five students to the Ontario Educa-

Mountain Creek open for new season scottcampbell@metroland.com
Mountain Creek golf course opened to their members on April 17 and 18 and officially to the public on April 19. The course can be found just off White Lake and Mountainview roads. The golf course has been in existence since 1992, according to president and owner Jonathan Schaepper, who just started his 11th season. He also has plenty of experience with the sport, even spending time overseas in Switzerland working on a golf course for numerous years. Mountain Creekʼs 18 holes take on average about four hours to complete and covers about a distance of 10 km – or 6,216 yards just for the holes, noted Schaepper. “The yards donʼt count the walking in-between the holes.” Mountain Creek is currently offering a spring membership for $125 until May 15, which gives people the benefits of using the course in kind of a test-run of a way. If they enjoy
their time and decide to join the course by the May cut-off date, the cost of $125 is taken off the full price of the membership they choose. “Generally we have about 250 members,” said Schaepper. New this season for the course is a pay structure for ʻintermediateʼ golfers who are 40 years old and younger. “Members can play from sun-up to sundown.” They can also frequent the course as much as they want – either on a five-day membership or for the entire seven days. The weekends can let them play in tournaments through Saturday and Sunday as well, while five-days are strictly focused on Monday to Friday. There is also a new mixedseniors league that has been filling up. “The cold we had this winter, we also had a lot more fluffy snow, gave the course a nice warm blanket so the grass will grow in,” said Schaepper, adding it was one of the best start of the seasons for the golf course in a long time in terms of the grounds. The area doesnʼt need

Mountain Creek also includes a pro shop and a bar and restaurant. “We are open for breakfast and Fridays are wings, fish and chip days,” he said. New this year is also is craft beer and a selection from Perth. At some point in the season,
the course will offer glow-thedark golf with balls that light up, glow-sticks placed around on the course and even campfires. Schaepper tends to aim for a closing date of at least Halloween. “I like to think the atmosphere here as very laid back, we welcome anyone to play.”

With the warm weather finally here, Madawaska’s executive course, Sumac Grove, opened its greens to golfers on Tuesday, April 14 with the 5,636-yard Twisted Pine course opening Saturday, April 18. “The course wintered well from what Martyn (course superintendent Martyn Munro),” club manager Victoria Munro said. “Things are looking good.” The Madawaska team has been hard at work on the course and in the clubhouse getting ready for what promises to be a great 2015 golf season. Munro started working on the par-70 Twisted Pines and the 3,251-yard, par-61 Sumac Grove, removing snow and getting the courses in to tip-top shape while making several, noticeable improvements several weeks ago, even before green could be seen for the snow. “The long, cold winter should create ideal conditions for our course this spring,” Munro said. “The constant snow cover experienced this winter provided a great insulator for our greens and protected the grass from drying up due to the wind. The course should be in great shape to kick off the season, especially the greens.”
The family owned and operated golf club offers something for everyone and every level. There is Ladies’ Night on Wednesdays, Men’s Night on Thursdays (alternating Saturday morning tournaments for both leagues), a seniors’ league, regular Nine-and-Dines and a thriving junior league. “This year we are putting a real focus on the junior league,” Munro said. “Last year the competitive team did the best it ever has in Madawaska’s history. USPGA pro Steve Skrypnyk is back to lead the juniors for another year.” Skrypnyk, a Level III Master Teaching Professional, has spent 20 years in the industry. In 1999 he established a dedicated golf school and training facility located in central Florida. From 1999 to 2013 he worked in partnership with the USGA and FSGA to develop innovative programs for first-time golfers as well as players at NCAA and professional levels. “Every golfer ultimately needs a swing they can take to the course,” Skrypnyk said. “PracJAKE DAVIES/SUBMITTED tice alone won’t achieve that.” Coach Steve Skrypnyk and the Madawaska Junior 2014 Intersectional Team pose for a Last year about 80 junior members took ad- before competition last year.

Valley Pride Atom girls win gold The Atom girl’s edition of the Arnprior Basketball Club (Valley Pride) had a successful conclusion to their 2014/15 season, winning gold at the Eastern Ontario ‘A’ championships over the weekend of March 28-29. Hosting the tournament at Arnprior District High School as the number one seed, the girls didn’t disappoint as they went undefeated to capture the gold medal. The team won three straight games in the round-robin with wins over Nepean Blue Devils (26-22), Kanata Cavaliers (2117) and Ottawa South (28-16), before advancing to the championship game. The final game once again matched Valley Pride with Nepean with the Pride seizing control of the game in the second half with a scoring outburst, resulting in a 35-16 win. “Congratulations girls.”
NEED MORE COUNTER SPACE? Valley Pride atom players, from left, Leah Hirst, Libby Hirst and Abby Patrois are delighted with their gold medals. Thanks to all the parents and fans who came out and cheered the girls on all weekend. Also a big thanks to
coaches Joe Lavoie, Celine and Alyse Laplante, and Dave Brydges on all their hard work over the entire season.

Local soccer player Kris Twardek is making a name for himself in England. Since 2013, Twardek, who turned 18 on March 8, has been experiencing an opportunity of lifetime, although not without some bumps along the way. The former Arnprior District High School student signed his first professional contract
with the Millwall Lions FC back in February. The exciting development of signing the contract took a difficult turn, as in the very same week, Twardek, who is a striker, was struck in the face and ended up with a broken jaw and had to be taken off the field. Academy Director Scott Fitzgerald said in a press release: “This is another step on the ladder for them, moving up to work with Neil Harris and the U21s full-time.”

The Ottawa Valley Thunder bantam provincial silver medalists include, at back from left, trainer Lori St Cyr, assistant coach Dean Peever, Sydney Smart, Kaylie Kuehl, assistant coach Tom Patrick, Sarah McIntyre, Emma Peever, Madison Tomasini, assistant coach Dan Shields, Jordan Spence, coach Kirk Spence and Mila Jones; and in front Meara Ryan, Abbey Perrault-Saunders, Kaitlyn Olsheski, Katie Douglas, Jaiden Smith, Keely Patrick and Jordan Shields.
Ottawa Valley Thunder bantams bring home silver from provincials in the GTA Girls hockey is thriving in Ontario. Ottawa Valley Thunder Girls teams found that out as they left their mark along with 11,000 other girls from novice to senior teams on the GTA at the provincials. It is not an easy feat to finish first or second in a division to qualify for a spot to compete to earn the title of provincial champion. This amazing feat was accomplished by three of the Ottawa Valley Thunder girls hockey teams, as atom, pee wee, and bantam all earned an invitation to compete. The midget team has an honourable mention of being one point short to qualify. The Bantam Thunder, coached by Kirk Spence, have set the bar high all season and they didn’t stop at the Provincials, starting with their first game when they beat the Aurora Panthers 3-0. The Thunder goal scorers were Sarah McIntyre, Meara Ryan and Jordan Shields. Madison Tomasini, Jordan Spence, Abbey PerraultSanders along with Ryan and Shields each picked up an assist. In the second game the Thunder got the offence rolling and beat up on the Ancaster Avalanche 6-0. Goal scorers were Sarah McIntyre, Katlyn Olsheski, Mila Jones, Jordan Spence, Meara Ryan and Jordan Shields. Picking up helpers were: Spence and Shields with two each and Sydney Smart, Jaiden Smith, Mila Jones, Kaylie Kuehl and Abbey PerraultSanders with singles. The third round-robin game saw the Thunder prevail 2-0 over the Clarington Flames. Katlyn Olsheski and Meara Ryan scored the goals while Mila Jones and Jordan Spence picked up assists. By virtue of their round-robin success, the
Thunder received a bye to the quarter-finals. In a tight rematch with Ancaster, the Thunder won 1-0 on a goal by Jordan Shields, assisted by Emma Peever. The semi-finals brought on the Kent County Fillies to play the Thunder. After a scoreless game, the Thunder won the barn-burner six minutes into overtime. Jordan Shields converted a pass from Meara Ryan to send the Thunder to the gold medal game. The semi-final game saw Thunder goalie Katie Douglas record her fifth straight shutout in the provincials, an incredible run of goaltending. OVERTIME THRILLER
The gold medal game against the Stoney Creek Sabres was a see-saw affair with a number of momentum changes. The Thunder got a goal from Madison Tomasini with two minutes left to send the game to overtime. Unfortunately the run ended when the Sabres scored in overtime to win 4-3. Other Thunder goal scorers in the final were Sydney Smart and Jordan Shields. Picking up assists were Meara Ryan with two and Kaylie Kuehl and Jordan Spence with one each. The provincial silver medal capped off a great season for the Thunder. Their overall record was 35 wins, 13 losses and 8 ties. They scored an impressive 133 goals versus only 64 against. They also added the Jay Peak tournament title to their provincial silver medal. For a story on how the Pee Wee and Atom Thunder teams did, see next week’s ChronicleGuide.

Atom Packers unexpected Tournament of Champions finalists by beating South Stormont 6-5 in a triple overtime thriller. In the finals, Arnprior met the powerhouse Stittsville Rams, which beat the Packers 6-1 to capture the championship. Ironically, the Packers beat the Stittsville 3-2 early in the tournament to earn themselves a spot in the semi-finals. Unfortunately, the tenacious Packers were unable to secure a second win against the Rams. The coaches and parents are proud of the boys and their accomplishments at the tournament and their success throughout the 2014-15 year.
The Arnprior Atom Packers surprised their more experienced competitors when they recently participated in the annual Tournament of Champions hosted in Beachburg. The season-ending tournament represents the top teams in Eastern Ontario at the Atom Rep B level. The odds were against the Packers going into the tournament seeing they are a major/minor team competing against major (older) teams. However, despite the odds, the team managed to qualify for the final game of the tournament.â&#x20AC;Ż The Packers earned a spot in the finals

Sparks, dads enjoy activities on father’s night The 1st Arnprior Sparks unit invited their fathers and grandfathers to a special ‘Father-Daughter’ meeting on Tuesday, April 14. The meeting was designed to have dads participate in various activities that they may not typically do with their daughters and for them to see what a Spark meeting looks like. As girls and dads walked in, they started working on puzzles, word searches and more team-solving work. Once everyone arrived, the Sparks sang their opening song and then proceed-
ed to decorate cupcakes together, plant herbs in tea cups, and paint a picture using recycled pop bottles. The whole group of 16 girls and 16 dads/granddads then enjoyed a tea party with juice in tea cups, cookies and their freshly decorated cupcakes. Closing out the evening, dads participated in some of the girls’ favourite action songs and took part in the closing. The evening was a success and dads are commended for their enthusiasm and support. Photos by STACEY REID

Seed ordering was one exciting yearly tradition By the time Mother had written out her order on the last sheet of the Steele-Briggs seed catalogue, the pages were practically in shreds after many hours of pouring over the choices she would make. The little catalogue would arrive early in the Spring, and the cover would be masses of bright flowers, some I had never heard of, and certainly would never find their way into the flower beds out in Renfrew County! But anyway, flowers werenʼt what Mother was interested in. Her interest was in the pages of vegetables, all listed alphabetically and looking so real, it seemed you could just pick them up and eat them. Father could never understand why Mother even bothered with ordering packets of seeds from the Steele-Briggs catalogue. Sure, you could get the same seeds
right down the road at Briscoeʼs General Store! Mother knew that, but she said there was something about ordering seeds from some far off place, and besides, there was a written notice that satisfaction was guaranteed or you would get your money back. I asked Mother if that meant if the seeds didnʼt turn into vegetables, would Steele-Briggs send back the few dollars she had laid out. “Thatʼs exactly what that means,” she would say, with a firm nod of her head. “Fat chance,” Father would say from his place near the Findlay Oval. From the day the little catalogue arrived, it rarely left the end of the old pine table in the kitchen. Mother liked nothing better than to thumb through its pages, and with a pencil put an ʻXʼ beside what she thought she might order.

Seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers and beans seemed to interest her the most, while pictures of big green watermelons kept me captive, and I hoped with all my heart that Mother would put a pencil mark beside the picture that took most of one page. Finally, she would have made her choices. The form was filled in from the back of the catalogue, and the order sent off in the mail in an envelope with a three-cent stamp. Now, the wait began. And it was beyond my imagination, how, by

simply writing a few lines on a piece of paper, sending it off to some far off city, and in due time, a packet would arrive with all the seeds my Mother had ordered. Of course, the entire mail system was a complete mystery to me to begin with. But then, just days after the order had been sent in, there the box would be. Sometimes it would come from Montreal, and sometimes all the way from out West ... another miracle as far as I was concerned. Of course, Mother would have to have the money in her hand to pay for the seeds, because the box would come to us C.O.D. Mother knew how much I loved seeing the box of seeds, and so the day it would arrive, she wouldnʼt open it until after supper, and I was allowed to get the scissors out of the sewing machine drawer and cut the strings and open the box. And there would be all those beautiful packets of seeds! Just like the pictures in the catalogue. I would line them up on the table after the kitchen had been redded up, and stand them up against a drinking glass, all in order, so that I could see them better. And everything was in vivid colours. The tomatoes were the brightest red, and the cucumbers vivid green. I would take a packet over to show Father sitting beside the Findlay Oval, and he would look it over,
make a grunting sound without taking his pipe out of his mouth, and that would be it. And sometime during the evening, he would again say the very same seeds could be bought right down the road at Briscoeʼs General Store ... and you wouldnʼt have had to waste three cents on a stamp either. But nothing could dampen my joy of playing with those crisp little packets of seeds. Soon Mother would plant them in little wood boxes Father had made years before, and they would sit in the kitchen until they sprouted and it was time to move them to the garden. I watched them daily, and when the first spot of green appeared, I was ecstatic. Iʼm not sure if I was more excited about the actual growth of the plants, or marveling again at the fact that by simply sitting down at the kitchen table and sending off an order to some far away city, a parcel would arrive. And that parcel in due course would turn into an ample garden and feed us for months to come. Yes, a miracle indeed. All for the cost of a three-cent stamp!

The Arnprior-Braside-McNab Seniors at Home Program receives a $500 donation from the Island View Tennants Association of Island View Retirement Suites. The money was raised at a variety of events, including 50/50 draws, hosted by the residents association. From left at the presentation April 2 are vice-president Ken Dodge, treasurer Peter Gazey, secretary Joan Flewellyn, and president Marjorie Hyndman and Seniors at Home in-town driver Nancy Peck representing the agency.
Volunteers thanked for helping Seniors at Home grow Seniors At Home
“Thank you for helping us grow,” was the statement that appeared at each table setting during the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner held April 11 for all volunteers of ArnpriorBraeside-McNab Seniors At Home Program (ABMSH). “As volunteer co-ordinator, I am responsible for bringing on new volunteers, I couldn’t ask for a better group of ladies and gentlemen to work with,” said Lisa Bottomley. “They are always willing to go above and beyond what’s expected of them while bending over backwards to make sure the client gets what they need.” The dinner at the Arnprior Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 was a chance, not just for ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington to say “thanks,” but staff members as well. “As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of ABMSH, it is quite clear that we would have not done it without, you, all of you,” said Harrington. “Thank you for helping us to grow and for your dedication in helping make the lives of those seniors we serve better.” The spouses and partners of the volunteers were not left out. “We know the support of each is just as important as that of the volunteer. Thank you for sharing your loved ones with us,” concluded Harrington. Congratulations and welcome was issued to all of Seniors at Home’s newest volunteers: Rose Buse - front reception and special events; Linda Chalmers - Hot Meals driver; Trina Chapman - special events; Francoise Crepin - Hot Meals driver; Sandra Hall - special events and
35th anniversary committee; Cheryl Hughes - Hot Meals driver; Archie Jordan - volunteer driver; Laura Koch - volunteer driver; Madison Kovacs - special events; Geraldine Lynn - friendly visiting and special events; Keith MacLean - volunteer driver; Lisette MacLeod - special events and friendly visiting; Pierre Maltais - Hot Meals driver; Janice Marcellus - special events; Mike McDowell - Hot Meals driver; Linda Mirault - front reception; Ashley MacMillan - special events; Wayne Needham - Hot Meals driver; Tim Philips - special events; Chris Pleau - Hot Meals driver; Tanya Rath - foot care clinic and special events; Collette Rigby - special events and foot care clinic; Susie Smithson - special events; Gaston Moreau – entertainer; and Kathy McGreggor - front reception. A special presentation was made to the Arnprior-Chronicle Guide, represented by managing editor Theresa Fritz for newspaper assistance and much appreciated help with publication of agency photos and press releases. Thank you to John Carter, Derek Dunn, Jessica Cunha and Scott Campbell of the Chronicle-Guide and West Carleton Review papers.. Plenty of laughs and mysteries were provided as the volunteers and their guests were treated to a delicious roast beef meal as prepared by the volunteers of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 174 and a Murder Mystery by Carl Ann & Company, theatre at its best. In case you missed it; Doug did it! “Thank you everyone for a great evening.”
It was a special moment as Dennis Harrington, assisted by longtime volunteer and members of both the outreach and development committees, Margot Levy and volunteer Nathalie Armitage, cut an 35th anniversary cake.
The Agency’s Community Appreciation award was presented to the Arnprior Chronicle-Guide Managing editor Theresa Fritz accepts the award from Seniors at Home executive director Dennis Harrington. Each year a business member of the community is chosen for its contribution to the promotion and support of the agency.

Get WITH It program wraps up its sixth season
PEGGY WALLACE/SUBMITTED
The Arnprior District High School custodial staff was presented with a basket of treats in appreciation for their co-operation over the past five months of the heart smart Get W.I.T.H. It! walking in the halls program. Rob Armstrong, Donna McNulty, Celeste Haaima, Randy Linde, and Chris O’Malley were on hand to receive the basket from Get WITH IT! volunteer organizer Peggy Wallace. Next season the program will be organized by volunteers Eileen Brown and Sandra Kopetoske. Watch for a fall community CPR session to kick off the season, which will start in early November.
Another successful season of walking in the halls at Arnprior District High School wrapped up March 31. The Get W.I.T.H. It! Program had 211 participants sign up this year and between them they completed 1,400 walks. The program was operated by 10 volunteers and on average had 39 walkers out on each of Tuesday and Thursday evenings over the winter months. The busiest of their 35 nights saw 73 people out walking their way to better health. The program is endorsed as Heart Wise Exercise by the Ottawa Heart Institute and is one of many in the Valley designed to offer a safe place for heart patients to get the cardiovascular exercise needed to combat heart disease and recover from cardiac health issues. The program wouldn’t be
possible without the opportunity to use the high school – thanks to principal Neil Farmer and office manager Jill Reid, as well as the custodial staff, for enabling the program to operate. Thanks also to Jay Koch of the Town recreation department for organizational support and Maureen Millar, dietitian at Arnprior Regional Health, for providing diabetic supplies. The regional diabetic educators came out twice during the winter to do blood pressure and blood sugar check-ups, which was much appreciated by the walkers. Get W.I.T.H. It! program volunteers included Peggy Wallace, Bette Rowe, Rick Lamendeau, Lorna Watkins, Hella Watkins, Beth Lepack, Eileen Brown, Sandra Kopetoske, and Linda and Karl Dregischan.

Scouts to hold e-waste depot
This weekend in collaboration with Earth Day the 2nd Arnprior Scouting movement will host an e-waste recycling fundraiser. The e-waste depot will be set up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (April 24-26) in the Arnprior Shopping Centre parking lot by the main entrance. The depot will be open on Friday from
5-9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Scouting group is hoping to raise funds to lower the cost of future registrations and to buy new equipment for the youth to use. For more information, visit www.arnpriorscouting.ca or look the group up on Facebook.
Scouts promote good turn week Kindness begets kindness and increases feelings of happiness and health. Fostering happier and friendlier communities is the goal for Scouts Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixth annual Good Turn Week challenge April 25 to May 3. Scouts Canada is challenging Canadians to perform a good turn for someone else, whether a neighbour, friend, family or community mem-
ber. Studies have shown that performing an act of kindness has the power to create feelings of happiness, both with the giver and recipient. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take an extraordinary measure to make a positive impact. A good turn can be as simple as holding a door open for someone or buying a coffee for the next person in line. Scouts Canada is asking Canadi-
ans of all ages to join in. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required is doing a good turn for someone else and asking the recipient to pay it forward, creating a ripple of positivity and goodwill from coast-to-coast. Scouts Canada has also challenged Scouting youth across the country to come up with their best and most significant ideas to help their community.

The Ottawa Valley Music Festival has a wonderfully full season of music planned. Tickets have gone on sale for the new season, which includes a ‘Festival of Choirs’ concert on June 7, ‘Young Stars Return’ on Aug. 9 and Mozart’s Requiem (with full orchestra) on Sept. 27. There is new ticket pricing for this year with the hope that the professional quality music the festival brings to the valley will be more accessible to a larger number of people. Ticket prices range from $5 to $25 (12 and under is always free). Visit the website for more concert and ticket information at www.ottawavalleymusicfestival.ca. You can also visit the festival’s Facebook page. The festival’s goal is to promote and share all styles of classical music with communities in the Ottawa Valley through nurturing and inspiring young talent, presenting concerts, scholarships, and awards. The society is a non-profit organization with a forwardthinking board of directors and talented chorus comprised of community members from across the Valley. Orchestra musicians for concerts are paid professionals. The festival is always looking for those interested in supporting the arts through donations and sponsorships. The festival holds various fundraising activities throughout the year. Currently, people can be a piece of the ‘Musical Puzzle’ solution by buying a piece of the jigsaw puzzle Renoir’s ‘Girls at the Piano’ for $1. The puzzle will then be assembled, sealed, framed and auctioned off later in the season. The festival is currently accepting applications for its choral scholar program. Applicants should be at least 14 years old and be a serious vocal student at about a Grade 6 RCT level or equivalent. Interested vocalists should contact Judy Borer at 613432-3432.

Valley musician celebrates release of milestone album Sherry Haaima
Sherry.haaima@metroland.com
You are invited into the beloved Verch family room. Upper Ottawa Valley native April Verch celebrated the release of her 10th album April 7, the same day she marked her 37th birthday. The album, The Newpart, is named for the Verch family room. Verch is known as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triple threat singer-fiddler-stepdancer (sometimes all at the same time). She released two CDs before she was out of high school, performed at the Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, and won both the Canadian Open Old Time Fiddle Championship and the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Competition (the first woman to do so). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always hard to title an album,â&#x20AC;? said Verch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had written a tune called The Newpart and when I got to telling the management team what it was, they said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;it sounds like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very important place to you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? It was an ideal choice as a title of the new album. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where all the important traditions and celebrations in my family took place and still take place,â&#x20AC;? she said. Verch grew up living and breathing roots music, whether with her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s country band rehearsing in the Newpart, the lively music at church and at community dances, and the tunes she rocked out to win her fiddle competitions. What can fans expect from this new release? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a similar mixture of music from my

last few releases,â&#x20AC;? said Verch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sort of depends - with the home Valley crowd it depends if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been following closely or remember me from when I was 12. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a healthy dose of old-time Canadian stuff and music from other folk traditions, including Appalachian and bluegrass,â&#x20AC;? she said. Does she have a favourite piece on the new album? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on the day which one my favourite is. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing most of the stuff live and every night is different as to which one the audience likes better,â&#x20AC;? said Verch. A highlight of the upcoming tour is a May 1 stop at Neat CafĂŠ in Burnstown, about which Verch is excited. She loves coming to the Val-

really inspired me but they also taught me a lot,â&#x20AC;? she said. She learned over time from her peers that hard work goes hand in hand with success in the music business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a romantic view of what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was realistic, great fun and really hard work. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful for that.â&#x20AC;? The community is superb in its support of local musicians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I listen to Valley Heritage Radio on the road, streaming on my phone and on my computer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just such a unique thing we have,â&#x20AC;? she said. Among her musical influences are Ottawa Valley favourites Ron McMunn and Ralph Carlson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still being played, and people are still following in their footsteps,â&#x20AC;? said Verch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just great though that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preserved it the way we have.â&#x20AC;? Her advice to aspiring musicians? â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, you have to absolutely love it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so hard. Choosing music does give you an opportunity to share it with a lot of people but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be playing music more than if it was only a hobby.â&#x20AC;? Having a good business sense certainly helps, too, said Verch.
ley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I come home I get to see everyone and visit,â&#x20AC;? she said. This tour includes several stops in the U.S., and only a few Canadian dates before the band heads overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often release tours tend to be to major cities so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really great to me that we have a Valley gig,â&#x20AC;? said Verch. The Burnstown show is sandwiched between concerts in Ottawa and Toronto. She is grateful to have been lucky enough to pursue music as a full-time career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My full-time band and I are really lucky we have enough work,â&#x20AC;? she said. The April Verch Band also includes Cody Walters on upright bass and clawhammer banjo and Hayes Griffin on guitar and mandolin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big variety for just a trio,â&#x20AC;? she said of the musical talents of Walters and Griffin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really wonderful musicians,â&#x20AC;? she says of her band mates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good people and they share my passion for it.â&#x20AC;? Valley musicians have been a source of inspiration for Verch and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrilled to be a part of the rich music history of the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel really lucky to have grown up in the music scene that we have in Renfrew County and the Valley. And definitely those musicians

Chemical exposure a major danger for your pets When the Environmental Working Group tested pets for exposure to toxic chemicals, dogs and cats tested positive for 48 out of 70 industrial chemicals. Some dog owners are said to resemble their pets; research shows that dogs and their owners who share the same chemical exposures also share the same diseases. Asbestos, industry, air pollution, pesticides and herbi-
cides, second-hand smoke, and allergies to both food and the environment are affecting the health of our pets. Asbestos: In the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s dogs alerted researchers to the dangers of asbestos when dog owners who worked with asbestos brought asbestos fibers home on their work clothes. These exposed dogs began developing mesothelioma (a lung disease) at eight times the normal rate. Chrysotil as-
bestos fibers were also found in the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lungs. Industry: a large 1981 study of 8,760 dogs at 13 veterinary teaching hospitals in Canada and the U.S. found that dogs that lived in industrial areas were more likely to die of bladder cancer. Carcinogens from industrial operations were suspected as a key factor for the development of this type of cancer. Air pollution: Studies in

IAN STUPP cinogens collecting in their nasal passages. Although they rarely develop lung cancer, dogs who develop nasal tumours seldom survive more than one year after diagnoses. Short-and medium-nosed dog breeds have higher rates of lung cancer because their shorter noses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trap carcinogens found in second-hand smoke, allowing the inhaled smoke to travel to their lungs. Allergies to food and the
environment: Just as your dog or cat can have an allergy to any type of food or with any ingredient within food, they can also be allergic to an infinite number of irritants in their environment such as ragweed, grasses, pollens, molds and dust mites, as well as materials like wool or cotton and even chemicals like those found in and around our homes like cleaning products. The cause of all your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allergic reactions will fall into one of these two categories: 1) Food allergies; 2) Environmental allergies. Not only dogs, but also cats, birds, and any other pets we share our homes and environment with are exposed to the same chemicals we come into contact with every day. Ian owns and operates Wags & Whiskers Dog and Cat Grooming and Puppy Kindergarten at 118 John St. North, Arnprior.

England in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s and Philadelphia in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s revealed an increased risk of the tonsils in city dogs. Dogs living in Boston and Philadelphia were also found to have higher rates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than those that lived in suburban areas. Pesticides and herbicides: A 2012 study that examined the application of lawn care products found that dogs that were exposed to professionally applied lawn care products had a 70 per cent increased risk of developing canine malignant lymphoma. Chemicals in lawn care products have also been linked to bladder cancer in dogs in several influential studies over the past 25 years. Second-hand smoke: Like humans exposed to tobacco smoke, dogs are also susceptible to the negative health effects of second-hand-smoke. Long-nosed breeds such as collies are at higher risk of developing nasal tumours than short-nosed breeds due to car-

Hypnotherapist bringing motivational show to Valley Ashley Kulp
akulp@perprint.ca
A motivational tour that supports SickKids is coming to Arnprior Tuesday, April 28. Hypnotherapist Matt Bloom, former host of the Rogers Television show ‘A New Day’ stars in the 42stop TheNewYouTour.com that started April 8 in Lindsay Bloom began his journey down another path of life eight years ago and know he’s hoping his experience as a certified hypnotherapist will help others to stop smoking, lose weight and battle other issues they’ve been facing. He is based in Whitby where he runs his own hypnotherapy practice. The Arnprior show will be held 7-9 p.m. at the Nick Smith Centre. It follows a Renfrew show April 27 at the Rocky Mountain House. There is also a show at the Stittsville District Lions Club April 29. Bloom, who is also a motivational speaker, says each show will include two 25-minute hypnotherapy sessions and a question-and-answer period afterwards. “When I’m speaking, my subconscious mind becomes accepts positive suggestions, but this isn’t mind control,” he points out. “People
aren’t put to sleep or made to quack or cluck. “People can expect a real roller coaster of emotions during the evening. They’ll laugh and cry,” Bloom continued. “The energy from the evening not only makes people feel like they’ve been entertained, but that they’ve been helped.” Bloom, who says he is committed to helping people make positive life changes, has dedicated a percentage of his tour sales to the SickKids Foundation. “The stories we hear are truly heart-wrenching and remind us every day why we are bringing The New You Tour to the public this spring,” he says in a news release. “Each night I have an opportunity to hear a few stories that may help some of you, who want to quit smoking and are considering hypnosis now. So whether it’s to stop smoking for good, lose weight, reduce anxiety, boost confidence, let go of the past, and more, this event is for you and those you care for,” he says. “I have a dream, like most do. I dream of a day when the barriers in people’s lives are lessened,” says Bloom. “Behaviours that hold us back from enjoying a healthy, full life are removed, and we can start again wi
a better mindset. By partnering with SickKids Foundation, we hope to encourage people to care and contribute to the cause, while helping themselves to lead a healthy, full life now and in the future, by experiencing hypnosis in a group setting. In this way, we can create better lives, one city in Ontario at a time.” Bloom says he has heard countless individuals express their worries, and their desire to ‘be there’ for their children, and grandchildren. Many want to end the cycle of behaviour and negative emotion, so that ill SUBMITTED health would not be a barrier to their Hypnotherapist and motivational family life in the future, he says. speaker Matt Bloom is bringing his During the evening, Bloom will show to Arnprior April 28. tackle topics including smoking with his Stop Smoking for Good program, difference in my life. I’ve always felt weight loss through mindful eating, like a healer,” he remarked. Bloom has found the experience as well as the issues of anxiety and depression, something of which he very fulfilling. “It’s interesting because I’ve been hearing the same stohas first-hand knowledge. Before becoming a certified hyp- ries over and over. It doesn’t matter notherapist under “hypnotherapist to if I’m in Brockville, Niagara Falls or the stars” Georgina Cannon of the North Bay,” he explained. “The road Ontario Hypnosis Centre eight years trip has been fun and for me, this tour ago, Bloom was a private pilot and has been extremely rewarding to take suffered a series of traumatic events. what I can do and spread it out geo“It was my own depression and graphically.” He chose the SickKids Foundation enormous issues in my life” that led as the charity of his choice, based on him to hypnotherapy. “Someone suggested I go see a feedback from clients. “I ask every client I have what hypnotherapist and it made such a
the top five benefits are in life and children is usually in the top three, whether people want to be there to see their grandchildren grow up or want to set a better example for their children…” Bloom said. “SickKids played a role in my life with my daughter. I chose the charity because it’s the right one for me.” “It’s a good cause and a really worthwhile night,” he added. Bloom stresses that hypnosis is safe. It is not an altered state of consciousness (as sleep is, for example), but simply a relaxed experience of consciousness, which is brought about by using suggestion to re-configure the properties of the imagination, he maintains. “And anything that can be imagined can be un-imagined just as easily.” He says the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) refers to hypnosis as “the quickest and most effective way to make behavioural changes.” Tickets for the NewYourTour.com cost $35 online at www.thenewyoutour.com or $50 at the door. There is a group rate of $30 each for members of groups of five and over in advance. For more information on Bloom and The New You Tour, visit www. thenewyoutour.com. With files from John Carter

VALIQUETTE, Claire
The family of the late Claire Valiquette wishes to extend our sincere gratitude to all of those who surrounded us with comfort and fond memories during a most difficult time. Claire was a beloved daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, caregiver, colleague, animal lover, neighbour and true friend to many who will be dearly missed. She will be remembered for her keen insight, opinions, advice, sense of humour, strong convictions to her faith and nursing profession and a kind regard for those less fortunate. There is little doubt that Claire’s life was truly well lived, generously and caringly, to the fullest. Her family gratefully acknowledges the professional wisdom, compassion, sincerity and empathy demonstrated by members of Renfrew emergency response teams, the medical and nursing staff of the Renfrew Victoria Hospital for whom she had the utmost respect, Father Kerry Brennan, Father Ryan Holly for their prayers, visitation and funeral celebration mass and Matt Brydges and his supportive team at the McPhail & Perkins Funeral Home, Your guidance and personal attention in assisting us with Claire’s remarkable journey was invaluable and truly admirable. We thank you so very much. To neighbours, colleagues and friends we remain grateful for your kind words, fond memories, generous donations, floral tributes and personal attendance at the beautiful mass and luncheon held in her honour, at her beloved parish, St. Francis Xavier, Renfrew. To her pallbearers, each one holding a special place in her heart, we say thank you. To her honourable pallbearer and loyal family friend Jeff Hanneman we extend our sincere thanks for always being there when needed. Claire touched the lives of many and her happiest moments were spent in celebration with friends and family around her table of plenty. As her family we were blessed to be part of a celebration of Claire’s life far more plentiful than we could have truly imagined. We are so very grateful to each and every one of you for joining us in that celebration and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Claire’s Family

GLEN BANDY April 7, 1924 – April 22, 2014 In loving memory of Dad. You never said I’m leaving, You never said goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. A million times I needed you, A million times I cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. RIP Dad Sadly missed, Lori and Doug

Last night while I was trying to sleep, Your voice did I hear, I opened my eyes and looked around, But you did not appear. You said: you’ve got to listen, You’ve got to understand, God didn’t take me from you, He only took my hand. When I called out in pain that day, The instant that I died, He reached down and touched my hand, And pulled me to His side. He pulled me up and saved me, From the misery and the pain, My body was so badly hurt, I could never be the same. My search is really over now, I’ve found happiness within, All the answers to empty dreams, And all the might have been. I love you all & miss you so, And I’ll always be nearby, My body’s gone forever, But my spirit will never die! And live one day at a time, Just understand, God didn’t take me from you, He only took my hand!!
GLEN BANDY In loving memory of a Dad who passed away April 22, 2014. God saw he was getting tired, And a cure was not to be, So he put His arms around him, And whispered “Come with me” With tearful eyes we watched him Suffer and fade away, Although we could not bear to lose him, We could not bid him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands laid to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Always loved, Forever loved, Dianne and Kip and Family Forever missed and Never forgotten. From Mom (Mildred) & Earl

OBST, Wanda - In memory of a dear, fun and loving sister and aunt, who was taken tragically in a car accident, April 23, 2003. Time passes… our grief remains… You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she’s gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she’d want; Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Forever in our hearts… Deb, Doug and Erin

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel.

Always in our hearts and thoughts, Love Bonnie, Shannon (Mike), Ryan (Heather), Matthew, Sierra and Aiden
